Free Download Combat Concepts: Myths and Reality of Martial Arts for Self Defence By Consterdine, Peter
2020 | 105 Pages | ISBN: 1687149887 | PDF | 11 MB
This book dispels many of the myths that surround the application of martial arts in the role of self defence and personal combat. The author, with some 55 years of high level martial arts has empirical experience of personal combat through many years of door security and close protection work (bodyguarding) has developed unique concepts and methodologies for making practical use of martial arts.Having a successful outcome to potential violent encounters is often not as a result of physical skills, rather the application of Personal Security protocols, which are discussed in detail in the book. The author has an international reputation for developing these concepts and he has been a consultant police trainer in the UK to both national police training and numerous police constabularies. Peter is the Chief Instructor of the three martial arts associations within The Combat Group, namely the British Combat Association; British Combat Karate Association; and the World Combat Association. He is a 9th Dan in Karate and a former Gt Britain and England Karate international and having spent many years on the national teams became a British full contact champion following his years as a Karate competitor.Alongside his martial arts career, Peter is a consultant in the field of security risk management with numerous international UK and US corporations as clients. Over some 30 years he has consulted for numerous companies (many household names), strategising their security risk management as well as delivering high level personal security awareness training to senior executives and board members. It is this wealth of experience that Peter brings to his specialised writings on matters of self defence, personal security, training for combat and personal development.

The Pursuit of Reality Narrative History of the Quantum and the Great Minds That Made it


Free Download The Pursuit of Reality: Narrative History of the Quantum and the Great Minds That Made it
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819910307 | 400 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 22 MB
In a highly accessible style, this book presents a narrative history of the quantum theory with the new developments that intrigue all inquisitive minds. Quantum theory is counter-intuitive and sometimes downright weird. Even Nobel Laureate physicists like Richard Feynman admit that they do not understand it. Yet, so far, there is not a shred of experimental data that conflicts with its predictions. Its effect on our lives is bound to increase with the quantum information era ushered in by the great Bohr-Einstein debate. Tantalizing applications of quantum information like teleportation, spy-proof communication, super-fast quantum computers, and more are going to influence our lives and change our beliefs about the nature of physical reality. This book takes the reader on an exhilarating journey through the intellectual history of quantum that is turning out to be more surprising every day.

Handbook of Augmented Reality Training Design Principles


Free Download Handbook of Augmented Reality Training Design Principles
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009216171 | 173 Pages | PDF | 2.4 MB
The Handbook of Augmented Reality Training Design Principles is for anyone interested in using augmented reality and other forms of simulation to design better training. It includes eleven design principles aimed at training recognition skills for combat medics, emergency department physicians, military helicopter pilots, and others who must rapidly assess a situation to determine actions. Chapters on engagement, creating scenario-based training, fidelity and realism, building mental models, and scaffolding and reflection use real-world examples and theoretical links to present approaches for incorporating augmented reality training in effective ways. The Learn, Experience, Reflect framework is offered as a guide to applying these principles to training design. This handbook is a useful resource for innovative design training that leverages the strengths of augmented reality to create an engaging and productive learning experience.
